Descrição
Explore the historic Galle Fort on a guided tour from Hiriketiya. Enjoy a scenic drive along the southern coastline, discover the fort’s history, and end with a transfer to Colombo.
Begin your day in the laid-back surf bay of Hiriketiya and travel along Sri Lanka’s postcard-perfect southern coastline towards the historic city of Galle. As you leave the curve of Hiriketiya Beach behind, pass tiny fishing villages, coconut groves, and glimpses of the Indian Ocean at every turn. Pause at scenic viewpoints and small roadside stands where you can taste tropical fruits or a fresh king coconut, just like the locals do.
In Galle, step inside the UNESCO-listed Galle Fort, a 16th-century fortress that blends Portuguese, Dutch, and British influences. Walk along the ancient ramparts as waves crash against the rocks below, peek into charming boutique shops, and wander through narrow lanes lined with art galleries, cafés, and colonial-era buildings.
Explore key landmarks such as the lighthouse, the Dutch Reformed Church, and the old warehouses that now host stylish handicraft stores. Your guide will share stories about spice routes, maritime history, and the vibrant mix of cultures that shaped this walled city.
After soaking up the atmosphere, continue the journey north to Colombo. Sit back and relax as the scenery changes from coastal landscapes to the urban skyline of Sri Lanka’s commercial capital. The tour ends with a convenient drop-off at your hotel in Colombo, making this experience a comfortable combination of sightseeing, history, and a scenic one-way transfer between Hiriketiya and Colombo.
